I have known Maura Jackson and Bolton Young Persons Housing Scheme for many years and have always admired both its work and principles and Maura's role in leading the charity. It does remarkable work with young homeless people and it's hard to imagine what would happen to them without BYPHS. Maura is a practical, innovative and inspirational leader and it always feels like a privilege to support the scheme and Maura.

Just been to my first networking event with thebestofbolton at the Chinese Buffet in Bridge Street.

An enjoyable and informative lunchtime - good food and, potentially, good business. Angela Kelly, freelance journalist and media consultant
